IMPROVEMENT IN DRAFT-EQUALIZERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. l, datcdFebrnary 24, 1874; application liled December 13. 1873.

A represents the tongue, and B the hounds,

to which the draft is to be applied, and about the construction of which there is nothing new. C is a draft-bar, the rear end of which is bolted to the cross-bar of the hounds B, and its forward end is bolted to the end of the triple-tree D, to the other end of Which is attached the Whitletree E, for the third horse. To the triple-tree D, at or near its center, is pivcted the end of a short lever, F, which is pivoted trees E, for the pair of horses.

at its center to the tongue A, and to the other end of which is pivoted the rear end of a short connecting-bar, Gr. To the forward end of the connecting-bar G is pivoted the double-tree H, to the end of Which are attached the Whittle- By this construction, the resultant line of draft will run along the tongue, so that there will be no side draft caused by the use of a third horse.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent* v The triple-tree D, pivoted at one end to the projecting bar C, and centrally to the lever F, which is pivoted at its opposite end to the link G of the double-tree, and centrally to the tongue A, all combined as shown and described, to op erate as spccilied.
